Compress files

It’s a data compression tool that finds codes in your text files. Then it replaces them with smaller versions.

Read this post to learn how you can enable GZIP compression on your site to optimize its speed. You can set it up manually by editing your .htaccess file, or you can tweak your caching plugin to activate this option.

Use a CDN

CDN stands for Content Delivery Network.

Using it lets you load copies of your site to that network’s servers. And when a visitor accesses your site, the server closest to his location will take care of loading it for him.

The result? Your site’s speed increases!

This is particularly useful when your visitors are located far from you because the farther they are, the longer it takes for information to get through.

But if they’re close to a server, they can get the information — and access your site — fast!

Among CDNs in the market, MaxCDN is one of the most preferred ones in the market. Aside from being affordable, the platform delivers faster loading site to your visitors.
